Peery's fish measured 32 1/4 inches long and weighed 15 pounds. The fish had a girth measurement of 20 inches.

The paperwork that will make Peery's catch official has been sent to the DWR's Salt Lake City office to be finalized.

"It's worth noting that Trent also caught another tiger trout the same day that measured approximately 25 inches," says Brent Stettler, regional conservation outreach manager for the DWR. "There appears to be more large fish under the ice right now.

"The ice fishing season isn't over at Scofield," Stettler says. "There may yet be another state record out there."
